Wont you need the igntion on to power up the ignition module even with a wire straight to the coil?

Yes Matt, I realised that after trying with ign off, but still no spark with ign on. Got no more time this side of xmas, but options reducing.
Relucter closed?
Two dead ECMs ? Unlikely
After that I need to voltage check everything.
Damndest thing. Parked the car one week. Next week no spark.

A power wire from battery to positive coil wont work because the orange box wont get power and the dissy pick up wont get a signal.
Put a jumper wire for batt positive to the key side of the ballast resistor.
Eliminate the ballast resistor temporary buy joining the two wires together. Don't leave it like that is the car fires and runs or you'll damage the coil after a while.

Thanks you Anton, that makes much more sense!
I'll give that a try now I understand better.

Have you checked the Dizzy???
No spark would possibly suggest an issue here?

Miles did you check the reluctor?Had similar problem on Charger .The roll pin holding reluctor in had worked its way out,allowing it to spin on shaft.

Thanks all, currently nowhere near car.

Car can wait

I had the pleasure of staying in the hotel Alfonso in Seville, for just over 6 weeks. Lovely place ...

It is chaps, Rioja in huge amounts, couple of tapas and about 8 Euros and the tapas are generous
These folk know how to enjoy them selves, even in winter everyone is outdoors, in church, at the bar. Nice.

If there is not any spark in any working mode check the the induction coil, or magnetic trigger in the distributor (if you have not already), that can happen I believe.

Yep, I'm heading towards the dizzy. I have 12v at the switch side of the ballast. Haven't yet checked if spark coming from the HT lead, that's next.
I did pull the rotar from the dizzy and noted that the knurled trigger piece (forgotten name) rises up the shaft as the rotar is removed, but it's still locked in place with the pin.
